Ahhh, for storing session passwords...if you really need to store a password in the session then try using md5, like so...
 
 $psw = md5($_POST['txtPassword']);
 
 
 Then to verify a users password just do the same and compare to the
 stored md5 value in your database.
 
 But, its a very bad idea storing passwords in your sessions full stop if
 using a shared server.
